History[]

The Cypress-Redcliff electoral district derives its name from Cypress County, Alberta and the Town of Redcliff, Alberta.

Cypress-Redcliff was created following the re-distribution of Cypress electoral district in 1986. The electoral district would only last two elections, and would be re-distributed prior to the 1993 Alberta general election to the Cypress-Medicine Hat electoral district.
